1 John 2-3 with Dr. John Perkins

The Christian Community Development Association began with a group of Christians who shared a common commitment to live out the love of Christ in marginalized communities, not from a distance, but in proximity, and as neighbors. Dr. John M. Perkins has been called the Moses of the movement, living out Christian Community Development before there was an association or a philosophy. Dr. Perkins passed away on March 13, 2026, at the age of 95. Throughout his life, he encouraged and inspired countless people to live a life of reconciliation, justice, and restoration. In this episode, we will share audio from a Bible Study that Dr. Perkins led in 2009 about 1 John 2-3. During this session, he encouraged us to receive the grace of God, to love others, and to count it all joy during trials. We hope that you are encouraged and inspired by his call to love God and love our neighbors.
